That’s what I was just going to say - I’m amazed that the stream is up and functioning.

Some of those “black” horses look bay and brown.

I’m mush!

That was one of the most beautiful renditions of the national anthem that I’ve heard in a long time. For crying out loud, I’m bawling. Add horses…

I cant seem to find the live feed? I am on the USEFnetwork.com page? what am i missing? All the other media seems to be loading…

The camera guys are kinda clueless.

WORD!!! I am LIVID. I’ve been waiting all day to see the Saddlebreds and we can’t see a goddamn thing. :mad: It’s not the Cherryholme Games!!! Jesus!!!

Sheesh, who wants to watch a hillbilly band or a fat guy playing a long horn. Show the horses!

And Wynonna. Couldn’t they get somebody actually current?

The best part!!! THe Riders!!

There should be some horses in the parade of nations.

Eh, those athletes don’t need anymore stress.

Yep, me too, pissed off beyond all words, or at least those that can be said in this forum. WTF was that all about, camera people showed more of the blankety blank fiddle players than the horses.

I’m feeling a bit unpopular here…I thought Wynonna did a great rendition of my OKH, but that’s my opinion. I felt it was respectful and appropriate for the occasion.

Back to the regular programming…

Some of those French guys look like Claude Raines in Casablanca. I wonder if the naked jumper is there?

I’m still just shaking I’m so mad. Looks like ASHA fired the wrong guy to get this done right. :no:

I know. I could have used more horse shots, less crowd shots. Anyone crazy enough to be watching the WEG opening ceremonies on saturday night wants to see the horses, not the crowd, not the singer and not random people milling about in the middle of the ring. That said, nice rendition of My Old Kentucky Home.

I think I’ll move to some obscure European country (say Latvia) bring along a quarter horse and set myself up as the reining team for the next WEG.

:confused:If anyone knows who is responsible for the EFF’up, whether USEF or Alltech, please share that info. I want to send a protest to whomever was responsible for that. While the US team is walking about, they are still showing the DAMN FIDDLE Players!!! (and banjo, guitar, harmonica geez…)
I wonder who the Arabian horse and Friesian horse folks had to bribe to get their actual on camera time? On the bright side, the Native American ceremony at the beginning was awesome, and was broadcast seemingly in its entirety.

Just realized the kids accompanying the country names are wearing jockey silks from famous Thoroughbred owners. How cool is that.
